Indian investors rush to Nvidia, SpaceX, Apple as local trading apps roll out access to U.S. stocks

Major Indian online investment platforms are unlocking access to U.S. stocks for millions of retail investors eager to diversify into global assets as the country's markets continue to underperform. Earlier, access to U.S. markets and exchange-traded funds was limited to wealthier Indians, via global banks and wealth management firms. Groww, an Indian investment platform that accounts for more than 29% of the country's 46 million active investors across stock brokerages, rolled out the U.S. equity trading feature earlier this month, Harsh Jain, chief operating officer and co-founder of the company, told CNBC.
